    please help.
    After successful partition to partition clone :
    1>I booted from destination partition.
    2>Windows booted with G:(destination partition during cloning) as the system drive
    3>The old partition(src) was still present as c:.
    4>Now I changed the old partition to z:\ (success) and tried to change G:\ to c:\ (failed)
    5>now after reboot, I cannot get my OS up, it gets stuck in logon. Safe mode also not helping.

    Any way that I can restore the partition mount points to its original ?

    PS: I don't have a cd rom.

    for others who did the same idiotic thing as me.
    Read this : http://www.goodells.net/multiboot/partsigs.shtml

    what I did was go into recovery console(I had already enabled it), there I waited till system assigned appropriate drive letter. Then I booted up in the OS and used partition magic to toggle drive letters and then cloned again. Read the above article why toggling is necessary before cloning.
